Class Descriptions

Yoga enjoy this eclectic hatha yoga class based on solid alignment principles presented in a more gentle vinyasa flow style, which incorporates smooth and fluid transitions, combined with pranayama (conscious breathing) for a strengthened yet relaxed state of being.

Pilates this class incorporates both classical and contemporary Pilates techniques. Deeply engages the mind/body connection and activates the "core" of the body with the breath. Very popular due to its rehabilitative benefits and ability to strengthen & tone the abs & back like nothing else!

YogaFusion a spirited Yoga-based class blended with elements of Pilates, Tai Chi and Dance. The class is taught in a vinyasa flow style which makes it a fluid, integrative experience. Tremendously popular, especially for those who enjoy both yoga and Pilates!

CoreYogaFusion a yoga-based class which focuses on all the best yoga and Pilates has to offer to ignite the core. Experience the difference it will make to your yoga practice and your body/mind!

Gentle Yoga a gentler, supportive yoga that facilitates balance while opening & softening into the postures. Props are used, while time and care is taken to really maximize the therapeutic benefit of each posture.

Yoga Technique this class focuses more deeply on alignment (Iyengar inspired, including use of props) and technique to increase your confidence in your yoga practice. A deeper understanding of techniques will benefit you in all styles of yoga practice. Excellent for beginners as well as those with more experience.

Yin/Restorative Yoga deeply relaxing, therapeutic and cooling. Facilitates supple muscles with specific postures that are held for longer periods to access our lunar, receptive side. Restores balance & calm... very delicious!

Vinyasa Flow (Power) Yoga an energizing yet balancing fluid class with progressive sequences of linking yoga postures (asanas) synchronized with the breath. Cultivates a strong core and maximum calorie burn...infused with inspiring music! This class represents a conscious evolution of Ashtanga Yoga and is one of our signature classes.

“Hard Core” Pilates This is a very challenging but deep Pilates class that works you from head to toe, utilizing all the core principles of New York style Pilates with the exercises based on the Reformer machine…but on the mat! This series is fun and it includes a “killer” Pilates ballet leg series that WILL transform your body…fast!! Many dancers swear by this series as it takes a lot of concentration and depth to do.

Prenatal Yoga a gentle class focusing on prevention of pregnancy discomfort, preparation for labour/birth and facilitation of reconditioning after birth. Therapeutic poses, integrated with ancient yogic breathing exercises (pranayama), offer a balance of strength and relaxation essential for birth…and for life.

Mom & Baby YogaFusion specialized YogaFusion (blend of Yoga & Pilates) for new Moms with their babies. Focus is on postpartum reconditioning, gentle Yoga for Baby and a much-needed break from routine with other new Moms. (for babies up to crawling age)

Class Info & Guidelines

  • Our schedule is ongoing, all classes are drop-in (except where indicated with *) and you are welcome to attend any class you wish. We encourage you to try a few so you can experience different styles.
  • Simply arrive about 10 minutes prior to class time...no need to pre-register (except where indicated with *). We have both Yoga mats and Pilates mats available for you to use in class, depending on the type of class you are attending.
  • Please wear comfortable clothing and leave your shoes just inside the front door.
  • Class is ideally performed with a mostly empty stomach.
  • Please refrain from wearing heavy fragrances/perfumes (some of our participants have fragrance allergies) and gum chewing.
  • If you are late, please wait until we have completed the centering (about the first 5 minutes) before entering so that those who are centering will not be disturbed. When you do enter, please do so quietly and unroll your mat without interrupting fellow participants.
  • Please leave cell phones, pagers etc. in your car or at the very least, turn them to vibrate.
  • We encourage you to observe yourself and not your fellow participants, since your Yoga/Pilates practice is about you & your inner journey and is completely non-competitive.
  • Please note that class times have been co-ordinated to accommodate downtown Brampton GO Train Passengers.
  • Although our building has ample free parking, if necessary during the daytime classes, parking is available on side streets.
  • Please let your teacher know of any injuries before class starts, whether past injuries or present ones, or any other conditions that may be a factor in your class performance and safety.
